:lol:

How much that set you back?

looks well mint though....hope it aint chrome - be a biatch to keep clean!

[Jules]

Is that as low as you can get it? Pah - Rubbish - try harder in future!!!
:wink:
Any pics from outside of the car?
:D

[Rick Draper]

The manifold is stainless steel so it will go some nice colours when i get some heat into it :lol: :lol:

Also i have still got about 4" or suspension travel so i can go quite a lot lower than in that pic! lol

I have got some other pics of it now but i have nowhere to hoste them!

[Aamir]

How much lower than a standard nova are we talking then ?
What size wheels do you have ?

[jkhilton]

went to see this car on Sunday, it is very nice(even if it was still in pieces in the garage!! lol) the paintwork is really bright and the overall look of the car is excellent, can't wait to see it finished(if it will ever be classed as finished by rick!)

[Rick Draper]

Not sure how much lower it is than standard, i will measure it ruffly later on. Its got the 15's on at the moment while i wait for the 17's to be sorted then they will be getting refitted and it will be time to start on the back end to stop it looking like a dragster! Rick

[Nova-Flair]

its gonna look great when its finished where did you get your manifold from?

[Nath]

watch out for speed bumps! thank god there going soon.

[Rick Draper]

[Jules]

[jkhilton]

Definately one of the best looking and smoothest novas I have seen.

Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnyyyyyyyy!!! sell me your car!!! lol ;) (I doubt Rick would part with his! :( and they are both so similar!)

[Breeny]

Make an offer then John :p

We even have the same wheels lol

[Dpnova]

Whose wheel chair is that, interesting conversion your let into that

[Rick Draper]

Thanks Jules for hosting the pics. Rick

[Rick Draper]

Yours is in one piece though Breeny :P . Mine will be in more bits by the end of today, going to take off all the stuff stopping me getting at the engine bay, then work can commence on the winter improvements list which seems to be never ending at the moment! Rick

[Breeny]

lol it won't be soon... Ive only spent 2 half days up there in 3 months :?

Hows this for junk in CP's workshop??

http://www.breeny.co.uk/novajunk.jpg

most of the interior has gone, the seats are Wills lol

[S2 Ant]

LOL at the wheel chair comment.... its surprising how many ppl notice that, cos that was asked straight away on another forum too :lol

[jkhilton]

Make an offer then John :p

We even have the same wheels lol



I know what you paid for it and it now has a dent in the side and a blown head gasket :lol: so we would have to discuss this

I am serious though, if you were willing to sell, I would be willing to buy.

[Rick Draper]

Finally John sees the light and realises the future is Nova :lol: :lol:


for today at least!

Rick

[jkhilton]

lmao! I would love to own a nova that looks like yours or breeny's, but I wouldn't want the hassle of having to build one from scratch again.

and now that my job is on the line, I would want something that I can work on myself rather than having to pay someone to fix. (even though the turbos all seem to have high running costs!!!! lol)

[Jules]

I seem out of touch with the latest on your car Breeny - I've gathered that the head gasket has gone but I can't remember seeing any posts on here about it? Also what's that about a dent in the side?
Any welcome_to_3_months_ago gen?

Also Breeny could you email me those couple of desktop pictures of your car that you sent me before please? My C: drive went pop not long after and I lost them :( Cheers.

[peester]

ricks: unbelievably good.

breenys: will be unbelievably good.

[Jules]

What actually happened to Breeny then?
:roll: :?:

[Breeny]

Ok... first of all some silly moo reversed into it in a big mini bus with steel bumpers... damage to the rear 1/4 :(

Then the headgasket/head or something went (Havn't stripped i8t part just yet)

Its basically been sat in either my garage or CP's workshop.. i havn't had the motivation to fix it for a long time.. but I'm getting there now..

Dont worry Jules, It'll still be at all the shows next year :D

Jules which email address do you want me to send the desktops to??
